ovs_ct_find_existing() issues a warning if an existing conntrack entry
classified as IP_CT_NEW is found, with the premise that this should
not happen. However, a newly confirmed, non-expected conntrack entry
remains IP_CT_NEW as long as no reply direction traffic is seen. This
has resulted into somewhat confusing kernel log messages. This patch
removes this check and warning.

Thanks for the patch, this will remove a false positive kernel log
from a common case in OVS with stateful processing.
